Default Center Console Non Smokers Tray Orderable?

I am trying to order the ashtray/lighter replacement tray so I can store my sunglasses, but there doesn't seem to be a US.part number fore kt. Carson indicates it as a Japan part, but Sewell lists it without. Anyone have any ideas?

Use the overhead compartment. I could never justify spending $200+ on a felt lined tray

I ordered it from Sewell with no problems.

If you have Lexus Link there is no overhead compartment.

Thanks! Yes. With LLink, there is no overhead compartment. Do you know what the Sewell Discount Code is for CL Members?

I believe you just enter your Club Lexus forum info when you create an account with Sewell.

You will like it. It is leather lined. It is a great place for sunglasses.

Wow, you know you have some serious money when it becomes a necessity to buy a $200 leather lined tray for your sunglasses...especially when the car comes with a factory overhead tray with thin foam padding in it....

It's a nice OEM replacement part. I don't smoke and found the ashtray/cigarette lighter ridiculous, best $250 I've spent for that car.

It's pretty easy to install yourself. Dealer wanted to charge me $100 to install it.

Obviously you don't read. As mentioned three times previously on this thread, people who have Lexus Link don't have a factory overhead tray.

It is a sign of the age of this model though that they couldn't accomodate both lexus link and a sunglasses compartment. Hopefully the new, darth vader-esque GS will have both.

can we see what the final product looks like?? Sounds interesting, because that compartment seems too small

Here is the tray. Interesting. I never knew this existed. I'm definitely interested.
